Solomon Sewing: stash

Sew Your Stash Thin

One of my goals for 2013 is to get my fabric stash under control. After some discussion with some other online friends with a common goal, we decided to have a stash-buster-along, hosted by AJ, over at AJ's Antics.

I am not one to join in with "fabric bans", if I ~~need~~ want fabric for something, I will buy it. This is not the idea of the challenge. The idea is to use it. Use what we buy, use what we have in the stash, use MORE fabric than we buy. Fabric OUT is only fabric that is used in completed projects. Fabric IN is any fabric that crosses the threshold in 2013. Hopefully by the end of the year, this will mean there is LESS fabric in the stash.

So anyway, I signed up and would you believe it, the VERY NEXT WORKING DAY, an unexpected parcel arrived from my mother-in-law. It was FULL of fabric! Almost 14 metres of fabric! Yesterday I came home with almost 9 metres of 150cm wide curtain lining fabric from Spotlight for Amélie's curtains. So far this year, all I have completed is 10 pairs of underpants for Amélie. I guess I had better get sewing!!!
